So ... in addition to the USA and its version of a king-free republic, what else have the autocrats/oligarchs/psychopaths/fascists and their tools (INCLUDING those in the USA who ignored warnings to either vote for or not vote AND the sadistic goose-stepping thugs implementing these abuses while “bravely” [tone tag/s] wearing masks AND those teachers and peer figures who were too incompetent to act on signs of bullying etc when they first became apparent) killed off?
Well, firstly, any trust in corporations - even though some have stood up to the bullying, the fact that a significant number gave in means governments can never reliably outsource anything involving moral/ethical/equitous decisions to corporations and/or the market, and thus they should not do it, and are likely going to face increasing demands to NOT do it. (Some of us think they NEVER should have in the first place.)
If only a small proportion of corporations had surrendered their decency (especially around DEI), they could have been embarrassed by others into staying decent in the future, but the number who surrendered and the speed and thoroughness with which they capitulated/obeyed in advance confirms the long suspected lack of any genuineness in their alleged committent to DEI ... except for those corporations which have NOT killed and buried their decency.
Secondly, although this will take some time to fully manifest (and will likely need a purge of ideologues from the halls of power first), neoliberalism, capitalism, and state capture by oligarchs (i.e., the rich and greedy).
There have been some good articles on this of late, and I recently started an email to my federal MP with:
“The SOLE point of having a healthy, well-functioning economy is to enable a good quality of life for people”
A lot of people have bought mindlessly into the propaganda of the last half century or so; hopefully now they will wake up and start rejecting the greed-is-good and I-wannabe-rich foolishness.
As a third dream, given the Soviet/N_ z_ style behaviour of people with power, maybe we will start checking their characters for real, now, rather than do a check of criminality and how well they fit into a toxic macho environment.
And, fourthly, maybe we will now start appreciating inclusive democracy ...
There are a lot of realisations being made now, and these are all important parts of spiritual maturity.
It is a shame - a criminal shame - that conditions had to become so desperate, and so many people so badly hurt, before they started being made ...
And those conditions are continuing, so the immediate test for those belatedly making these realisations is:
what are YOU going to DO now?
Possible flaws
Where I can, I will try to highlight possible flaws / issues you should consider:
- there may be flawed logical arguments in the above: to find out more about such flaws and thinking generally, I recommend Brendan Myers’ free online course “Clear and Present Thinking”;
- I could be wrong - so keep your thinking caps on, and make up your own minds for yourself.
If you appreciated this post, please consider promoting it - there are some links below, and there’s also other options.

Remember: we generally need to be more human being rather than human doing, to mind our Mӕgan, and to acknowledge that all misgendering is an act of active transphobia/transmisia that puts trans+ lives at risk & accept that all insistence on the use of “trans” as a descriptor comes with commensurate use of “cis” as a descriptor to prevent “othering” (just as binary gendered [men’s and women’s] sporting teams are either both given the gender descriptor, or neither).#PsychicABetterWorld and may all that I do be of value and actively BPM used for and by the nonphysical BPM
